Watch Rolls: O'Rourke Coachtrimmers
Products | 04 Dec
We visit O’Rourke Coachtrimmers - famed restorers of classic car interiors and craftsmen of our Farer watch rolls.
Led by Rorky, this West Sussex workshop has created award-winning interiors for all manner of rare and valuable classic cars, including winners at the world's most prestigious Concours d’Elegance.
While recently completing the interior of the Farer E-Type in preparation for our trip to Switzerland, we discussed with Rob O'Rourke ('Rorky' to those in the trade) how special it would be to create bespoke watch rolls using the same hides that grace the finest classic cars.
We all agreed that it was an amazing opportunity to make our own custom watch rolls with the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail normally reserved for the elite car world.
A couple of months later and we are delighted to say that the watch rolls have been completed - all handmade in West Sussex, using English hides in colours inspired by the the interiors of British classic cars.
Each watch roll has been designed to comfortably hold three Farer watches and is finished with an oversized Farer buckle in 316L stainless steel. With a contrasting black goat skin lining and removable padded roll they are designed for the true Farer traveller.
We decided to hit the road with our favourite photographer, Amy Shore, to capture the watch rolls being made at O'Rourke Coachtrimmers.
